The former Black Stars management committee member strongly believes the Kurt Okraku administration has nothing to offer Ghana football. According to Alhaji Grudah, the only way for the new government to resurrect Ghana football is to dismiss the people running the FA, led by Mr Okraku.
How can Ghana end up at the bottom of a kelompok with Niger, Sudan, plus Angola? This is simply not acceptable,” Grusah said on Asempa FM, as quoted by Ghana Soccernet. “If the government is serious about improving football in Ghana, they must dismiss Kurt Okraku plus the entire GFA. FIFA cannot penalize us for removing them from power. We must be honest with ourselves,” Grusah emphasized. Alhaji Grusah has followed Ghana football for over four decades plus was recently a member of the Executive Council.
Alhaji Grusah justifies appearance fee The outspoken football administrator has defended the FA’s decision to pay the Black Stars’ management members $100,000 each as an appearance fee. Despite criticisms from Ghana, Alhaji Grusah believes it is appropriate to reward the men who steered the affairs of the team as they reached the World Cup in 2022.
“Is it a crime? If we took the money, is it a crime? Didn’t I risk my life boarding the plane? Did I risk my life or not? those who are talking were they there when we got beaten in Nigeria? It is some journalists who are on wed, but now they can talk because God has helped them. We know them. “If any Ghanaian says $100,000 is not money, that person is a thief. We deserve it; we left our jobs plus went. It’s not every day you will get $100,000, but sometimes, when things are okay, you will get more than that. But if it’s a crime, they should let us know it’s wrong. They should tell us it’s a crime, plus then we will return the money.
